    Great idea @lpeters82
    Lots of great possibilities in a Western Theme. Just call it "Outlaws" and make it a Kingpin of the old west.

    Also GTA has huge potential in my opinion.

    +1 for fallout I can think of so many cool toys.
    Lock the ball in the vault.

    This would be a vast new world to explore in pinball. I would think the first video game themed pin would do very well.

    I would love to see the world of the 8 bit nintendo games under the glass.

    It has been said and I have been saying it for a little bit now "Halo" would be my choice. It's been out for 16 years. Plenty of different enemies and plot twists. The music is great and doesn't drive you crazy. The greatest thing of all would be Cortana leading you on your missions, she's already there to guide you.
    If you are trying to get some new blood into the hobby something from this era I would think would do it. Kids that would have been in college during Halo 1 in 2001 and that time frame Halo 2 in 2004 are in the disposal income range.
    Halo would be my choice but I think it needs to be from that era of Xbox and PS2 titles from early 2000's first, now this would just be to test the waters and break the ice on new video game pins, I would love to see a better Mario pin or Metroid or dozens of others. But if you dropped it in a movie theater right now what could get teenage kids to middle age adults to go over to that pinball machine?
    Halo, Call Of Duty things like that, a Black Opps Call of Duty at a movie theater or younger bar scene I'll go with something like that.

    Or just make an Outlaws themed pin!

    I was inspired by an even lesser known game, Secret Panchos. I think there are titles like that, where a lot of work has already gone into the artwork, characters, soundtrack, call-outs, etc. It would basically seem like it's an original theme, but you get some material to work with.
